The future must finally be here, because Volvo has announced plans for real-world autonomous driving (AD) technology testing to begin, with China being named as the locale. Volvo is seeking commuters who drive into the city via the highway, as the highway offers some relatively easy driving, with no stoplights or intersections to navigate. China has a small advantage over the United States when it comes to implementing this technology, as its legislative process is slightly more nimble than the United States’, making the application of relevant laws and regulation easier in China.
